21 December 24 How We Deploy Our Capabilities
Bringing leadership, judgement, realism and experience to diverse groups of stakeholders, often with competing interests,so as to find a consensual "least worst" solution. This involves understanding the true scale of the problem, assessing the realistic options, agreeing a plan and then moving quickly to implement with momentum.
Carrying out rapid diagnostic reviews to understand quickly the key issues and available options for stakeholders. We look beyond the financials and examine the underlying viability of a business by reference to its market, competitive position, product-market strategy, business processes and infrastructure.
Evaluating incumbent managers and rebuilding management teams.
Leading Boards, setting strategy, supervising the planning & implementation of turnaround plans, putting in place appropriate resources & monitoring procedures, and establishing robust corporate governance.
Managing crises, squeezing working capital to create time for a broader solution, mobilising an organisation for survival, instilling a winning mentality.
Negotiating complex financial restructuring plans with expert advisors and lenders, including the use of pre-packaged insolvency procedures.
Working with financial institutions to develop innovative ways of dealing with their most problematic assets including loan to own strategies, establishing "Bad Bank" structures and structuring co-investment deals.
